Modernization: Architecting the Future of Your Business
The Bloomberg Modernization Roadshow explores how companies can create a secure, integrated hybrid cloud environment that extends the value of their technology investments while accelerating their ability to respond to market shifts and customer demands.
The problem today? A highly disruptive environment has created uncertainty, affecting both short-term operations and long-term sustainability of business operations. Inside their companies, information-technology leaders also must contend with multiple application-development platforms and cloud providers, and complex on-premises infrastructures. This creates complexity that makes it challenging for corporations to execute with speed, provide comprehensive security for their data and infrastructure, and drive efficiency. In a highly competitive labor environment, executives must recruit and retain a talent pool skilled in dealing with rapidly changing technology. Add to all that the challenge of navigating changing government regulations and greater demands both internally and externally for information- technology sustainability.
